There are lots of strict places in the process of making your own website. You should have rich content, beautiful pictures, video content, no mistakes in spelling and coding, etc. All must be perfect. So here are few web development tips to boost your skills.

This very article is a logical continuation of the first one. But here I want to pay attention to the development of «must haves».

When you develop your own website you should not neglect little things, because all this scope of little things can ruin your website's usability.

Web development tips

1. Clearing floating elements

You should check the CSS code of the block and put attributes:

selector {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}

This will solve the problem even if you don't set a height of the element.

2. Phone numbers

Across all web development tips that I know this one is the smallest. But devil's in the details.

You can give your visitors an ability to make calls right from their mobile devices with a <a href> tag:

<a href="tel:0123456789">0123456789</a>

3. Media rich content

When trying to build a responsive website you need to write lots of media queries. CSS media queries are used to determine the type of media. Don’t forget about mobile devices’ screens.

For example, you have shrift colour that will be not seen in low resolution screen.

You have black website with grey colour of the body text. You understand, that it will be hard for visitors to read.

5. Comment your code

So far, so simple - you should remember that other people need to understand your code. So comment it, name the layers, organize your files. It seemed to be cumbersome, but in fact it does not take much time.
